I was halfway through production on this “code red” cheese
spread, when I heard that Andrew from “Binging with Babish” had tagged me for
his Hot Pepper Challenge for ALS. What are the odds? Anyway, I happily accepted his challenge, although, as you’ll
see from this video, I took the coward’s way out, and used the almost already
completed pepper spread, instead of eating whole chilies. I have some gastrointestinal
issues that, while relatively minor, would make such an endeavor “problematic.”
So, to make up for my good judgment, I donated a little extra, and hope you can
do the same.

Above and beyond raising some funds for ALS research, this delicious spread is simple to make, and a real crowd-pleaser. Just ignore those initial
complaints. As you’ll observe, people will literally be
spreading more of this on their next cracker, while they tell you that it's too spicy. It isn't, and by the end of the party, they will agree. They
may be sweating when they do, but they'll agree.

Here’s the link to Andrew’s video, where he shares the
inspiration for the challenge, as well as heroically eats a habanero, AND a
ghost pepper. It hurt just to watch. If you'd like to participate, the link
is https://www.gofundme.com/alshotpepperchallenge.
I really hope you give this great pepper spread, and hot pepper challenge a try
soon. Enjoy!

Hi Chef John, Just to say, I love your vids, always watch as soon as I see a new one has been posted. Disclaimer alert! this is not a criticism!I love the way you say worcestershire sauce, it always makes me smile, but here in England (and I think we should know) it's more like "wooster" or "wuster" though mostly people just call it "Lea and Perrins"Mind you, I much prefer the way you Americans say the work schedule, "SKedule" as opposed to the illogical way most Brits say "SHedule"Regards,Chris
